ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA-071-0069b; FRL-6129-6]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Mendocino County Air
Quality Management District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). This action is an administrative change
which revises two definitions and adds one definition in Mendocino
County Air Quality Management District (MCAQMD) Rule 130, Definitions.
The intended effect of proposing approval of this rule is to
incorporate changes to the definitions for clarity and consistency with
revised federal and state definitions. EPA is proposing approval of
this revision to be incorporated into the California SIP for the
attainment and maintenance of the national ambient air quality
standards (NAAQS) under title I of the Clean Air Act, as amended in
1990 (CAA or the Act). In the Final Rules Section of this Federal
Register, the EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a direct
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for this approval is set forth in the
direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in
response to the direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated
in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives relevant adverse
comments, the direct final rule will not take effect and all public
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on
this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any
parties interested in commenting should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by August 31, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S.
